Black-tailed Trainbearer male
Black-tailed Trainbearer was wonderful to see again when I visited the Ensifera Hummingbird Sanctuary near Cusco, Peru, a second time. (This is an image from my first day there www.flickr.com/photos/luminouscompositions/52551381444/in... ) Many hummingbirds have evocative names and beautiful colours, and this one fits the bill. {There is a Green-tailed Trainbearer that overlaps in distribution with this species, and looks similar except that there is more green on the tail.}
